PIONEER RM-V2400 / 2500

MANUAL.

This Acrobat (IE: a PDF file) version of the Pioneer RM-V2400 / 2500 manual was made from the original digital document and scanning an existing manual. Because of this, there are many less then perfect pages and hand written comments.

As Pioneer is constantly working towards providing the best possible documentation for our products, there may be an improved version of this document available. Please contact your Pioneer representative for additional information.

1. FEATURES OF SYSTEM ...........................................................................................................................................

•To turn off the power, use the POWER switch - of the unit, the RS-232C control, or wired remote control (optional). (If turned off using the main POWER switch or by disconnecting the power cable from the outlet, the settings of the above = to @ switches and the state of the TV SYSTEM and convergence memory will not be recorded on the memory.)

Consequently when starting up or stopping the whole system by AC ON/OFF in setup conditions for a demonstration, it is necessary to turn off the power using the above method to record each setting in the memory.

To attach the multi-projection unit (RM-V2400N) to the conventional RM-V2000A, the RMF-V4011R accessories (metal fixtures) are required. The following lists the required parts. For details of attaching the multi-projection unit, refer to Chapter 3. "4-(2)Assembling the System".

The ventilation method differs according to where the system is installed. The following shows how to provide ventilation for the units according to the place of installation. Refer to these and keep the installation condition in the previous section [(8) Temperature and Humidity] at the system.

But when installing your unit, consult your dealer.

1When there are no walls on all sides (within 1m)

As shown in Fig. 3-3, attach the top panel, side panel, and rear panel.

(Note)

When attaching the rear panel, be careful not to block the vents for the fan of the projection unit.

2When there is a wall at the back *

As shown in Fig. 3-5, mount a large fan to the top panel, provide vents for inhaling air at the bottom panel to blow out air inside. Always leave more than 300 mm between the wall and the back of the unit.

(Fig. 3-3)

(Fig. 3-5)

3When blocking the bottom (when placing the projection unit on the floor directly) * Same as 1. (Fig. 3-6)

<Note>

*: There should be no obstacles within the 1m area of the

unit except for the rear and bottom. If this condition is

not followed, construct your own ventilation system

(large fan, low temperature by air-conditioning, etc.)

(Fig. 3-6)

according to the site of use.

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY

(10) Condensation

One problem that occurs in the winter season is "Condensation". When the temperature of the room in which the multiprojection unit system is installed rises suddenly, condensation occurs on the screen and lens, thereby the system cannot display its best performance. In such cases, turn off the power once, leave the system off for one hour, and turn on the power again. Increasing the room temperature gradually is another method.

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY

43P Plug

The power cord of this unit has a 3P plug. This is to prevent electric shocks caused by leaked currents. Always connect it to a 3P outlet.

5Leak Breaker

The unit is incorporated with the power line filter to reduce noise. Therefore a 0.5 mA leakage current will flow with each unit. If a leak breaker is equipped, check that its sensitive level is above the total leakage current of the system.

Also calculate each unit such as image transmission unit, etc. as 0.5 mA.

It is extremely dangerous to supply power from existing wall outlets, etc.

Position the final outlet connected to each unit of this system as near as possible to the system. Set the current capacity slightly greater-about more than 25% of the total consumption power.

(15) Cables Used

Use coaxial cables. Normally use a 3C-2V for less than 20m long. Use 5C-2V for greater lengths. 5C-2V is recommended for high-vision.

Adjust the length of the cables. The distance between the transmission system and multi-projection unit should be as short as possible. When the distance is great, consider the thickness of the cable and electrical compensation carefully.

The limit is as shown when using the cables to connect the transmission final output terminal and the system.

3C-2V: 15m

5C-2V: 30m

To use a longer cable, the VIDEO signal must be corrected.

(16) Semi-outdoor Installation

This system is basically designed for use indoors. However, if it has to be installed outdoors, take note of the following.

•Waterproof and rustproof measures

•Temperature difference and humidity difference

•Light on the screen (So that it is not exposed to direct sunlight.)

•Wind containing salt

(17) Precautions for Use of User-Obtained Parts

It is recommended that Pioneer products be used for the projection stand, mount unit, etc. Users obtaining these parts separately by themselves should take note of the following.

•When obtaining stands and mount units separately, make sure that the system can be installed horizontally. Also calculate strength properly and take adequate measures against tilting of the screen. If the recommended stand and mount unit are not used, Pioneer will bear no responsibility whatsoever for accidents and injuries incurred due to incomplete connections and mounting, natural disasters, etc.

•When mounting top board, side board, rear panel obtained separately, use the holes for mounting the Pioneer stand and projection frame. (Refer to Fig. 3-39)

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY

2. INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY

(1) Confirmation

1Decide the position for installing the system according to the installation conditions in Chapter 3.

Check Items

[1]Dimensions of installing position, space at the back, distance to the ceiling

[2]Floor flatness, strength, roughness

[3]Position of power supply

[4]Installing location

Necessity ti strengthen the floor, wall, etc.(reinforcement cover, sheet, plank, etc.), path used to transport the system, width of passage, if elevator is available , its size and maximum bearing weight, etc.

[5]Position, specifications, and structure of a transmission equipment, and image type

[6]Model number of equipment used, and their quantity (perform according to list). Check if there is enough equipment for each unit

*These procedures must be performed by only one person.

2Opening the packaging

Open from the big ones first and put the small packagings inside the empty big packagings. Also dispose or store the packagings.

Do not mix up the opened items with those still in the packaging.

Move the empty packagings somewhere else so that they will not come in the way. Next, obtain an assembly space that is as wide as possible.

*Turn down the opened packagings upside down to differentiate them from those not opened.

Do not lose accessories, the warranty card, etc.
